I found my oldest oto (around 2 yrs old) Very near death this morning. Very slow labored breathing, swollen body, eyes slightly popped out. I did not notice the blood until I took him out. The arrows in the picture show where it was the worst, one spot under the gills, some under the scales on one side, some blood in one of the rear fins. Normally I don't take pictures of my dead fish, but I want to know if any of you think this could be septicemia (or some other contagious disease) and should I treat the rest of the fish in that tank?
